Drag and Drop General + When drop-operation is not applicable to active/underlying frame, the action is routed to the main frame (if it exists at the main-frame level). $ If for example, we drop a file onto Feeds pane, that's the equivalent of dropping a file onto workspace area. + When drop-operation is not applicable at the base/main frame level, Pandora will display status-bar message about unsupported drop operation and where is applicable. * Fixed the issue where drag and drop is turned off for no reason, and restart is required to turn it back on. + Drag and drop message(s) onto criteria list (Find Messages, Filters) to add rudimentary criteria based upon/derived from dropped messages. * We can now cancel mailbox drag and drop with Esc key. + Dragged mailbox graphical indicator. + Dragged mailbox is automatically re-selected if we cancel the operation. * Auto-expanded mailboxes will be auto-collapsed upon mailbox-drop (with the exception of destination branch). + Drag mailbox onto criteria list (Find Messages, Filters) to add criteria based upon mailbox name. + Drag mailbox anywhere onto draft window to include that mailbox for FCC (the same as FCC menu click). + Drag mailbox onto workspace area or task-bar to open/bring to front mailbox window. + Drag mailbox onto another open mailbox window to move all messages to that mailbox (hold down Shift to copy). + Drag mailbox onto Filters Action Copy to/Move to button to set dragged mailbox as destination for filtered message(s). + We can drag local mailboxes from Find Mailboxes pane now (and drop onto Mailboxes tree, open mailbox, criteria list and other mailbox-related drop-targets). 5.0 --- General + Menus hot-keys can be customized now [Toolbar and Hot-Keys under Settings menu and Settings/Composing Mail pane]. + Mark deleted messages Read [Settings/Background Tasks].

[file path] [file path] $ Example: "E:\Files\File1.doc" "E:\Files\File2.doc" $ This can be also accomplished by dragging files onto Pandora icon (in Windows Explorer), or by using Send-To shortcut. $ There is no Command-Line switch for this action. It applies for all files except for internally associated types. $ Default action for internally associated types is: Open. + Set Pandora as default mailer: -associate + Create basic icons (Start Menu/Desktop/Send-To): -CreateIcons + Delete basic icons (Start Menu/Desktop/Send-To): -DeleteIcons + End session: -quit Default Mailer + Messages can be composed now via SimpleMAPI. $ When Pandora is default mailer, third party applications can send links/notes/files via e-mail by way of PanMAPI32.dll. + Windows XP/Vista: When set as default mailer, Pandora entry appears on the Start Menu (E-Mail). * Windows 7/8: Some of the missing Registry entries for default mailto-protocol handler are filled in now. System Integration + SendTo shortcut is created/deleted by installer. + Pandora now appears on Windows "Set Default Programs" list. + Mailbox Content files (mbc) are now associated with Pandora. + Stationery files (sta) are now associated internally, and externally if Pandora is default mailer. 1.4.6 ----- Drafts/Edited Messages (Plain Text Format) + Align Text. + Horizontal Line option: Line character. 1.4.5.1 ------- + Main toolbar is scrollable now. * Fixed early network timeout bug, related to slower links, roughly 80 Mbps and below. * Address Book nickname expansion is identical now to Addressing-InelliSense expansion. 1.4.0.2 ------- Filters + Auto-Update Active Filter. $ Right-click on Update button to turn Auto-Update on/off. + Right-click on action-button to reset to default value (where applicable). $ Example: Right-click on the Sound-button to reset from selected sound-file to default sound. + Reply with Personality and/or Stationery. $ To just auto-reply with the same (received message) personality leave/reset "Reply with Personality" to "[Inherit]". + Forward/Redirect to recipient(s), with Personality and/or Stationery. $ Personality set explicitly this way, has a precedence over (original) message personality. $ Stationery set explicitly this way, has a precedence over explicitly set personality's stationery, which in turn has a precedence over (original message) personality's stationery.

Quick Backspace - Removed framework-template feature/bug, where Ctrl+Backspace, when there is selection, replaces previous (not selected) word, with selected text. * Ctrl+Backspace now auto-selects and deletes the entire word only if caret is positioned to the right-most (of that word), or if word is partially selected (from the right). $ Avoiding therefore auto-deletion of previous word (the one that is not selected at all and positioned to the left from fully selected words). $ Exceptional case is when there is no selection, and space is positioned to the left-most from the caret, allowing "quick backspace". $ "Quick backspace" will halt on punctuation marks. - Removed auto-select the entire word (auto-expand partial selection), on Backspace, inside the quoted block. $ The same can be accomplished with Ctrl+Backspace, now consistent with the same action elsewhere. Paste + New Pasting Options format: HTML Enriched Text - Derived from Plain Text. $ Use to preserve the line-breaks. $ When pasting into HTML-formatted message, and HTML format is not available on Windows Clipboard, this is the default option now. * Fixed the case where a single space is added ahead of beginning, or past the end, of pasted text. * Upon pasting, caret is now always positioned at the end of pasted test.
